11/25/17: For a few hours it looked as if the president might make it through a day without doing anything stupid or undercutting fundamental American values.
True. He did claim Time magazine talked with him about his being chosen “Person of the Year” for 2017. Time says it never discusses picks until they announce choices on December 6. So, it might have been a white lie.
By lunchtime, however, Trump was all warmed up.
The free press continues to nettle the thin-skinned man in the White House and Donald J. Trump realized he had no other choice. He had to undercut the First Amendment again via tweet:
@FoxNews is MUCH more important
in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is
still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD
very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!
Or to put Trump’s thinking more baldly: Wouldn’t it be better
for “our nation” if we could shut CNN
down?

Trump made the cover in 2016. Now he thinks he should be on the cover every year. |
